2011 Emmys Red Carpet: The 10 Best Dressed Women!

Are you dolls ready to talk Emmy Awards fashion? Check out our picks for the 10 best dressed women to hit the red carpet...

Move over, Kim Kardashian: There's a new set of curves to envy on the red carpet. Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries absolutely made our jaws drop in this Jessica Rabbit-like strapless number by Donna Karan. Red was the color of the night, but her hourglass-highlighting version was seriously the most sizzling.

Speaking of red hot, Lea Michele went with dramatic sleeves and a low-cut cowl back in this scarlet Marchesa gown.

This one will definitely draw some boos, but I was totally smitten by Gwyneth Paltrow's Pucci number. The exposed midriff is right on trend (did you see 'em all over last week's runways!?), and the sheer look is totally fashion-forward. Plus, she's, um, Gwyneth Paltrow--she can get away with this kind of thing!

Claire Danes was the definition of sparkling glamour in this sequined column gown by Oscar de la Renta. She's following my number one rule of red carpet dressing: You'll never end up on a worst dressed list when you wear Oscar!

Hello, hotness! Sofia Vergara knows exactly how to play up her best assets, like she did in this one-shoulder coral gown by Vera Wang. The complementary emerald earrings are the absolute perfect finishing touch.

Glee's Dianna Agron takes the gorgeous color award for the evening. Her bright cobalt gown is by Roksanda Ilincic, and it's as ladylike and retro-chic as we've come to expect from her.

My last lady in red award goes to Kerry Washington in Zuhair Murad. This, my dears, is what we call working it. The sparkling bodice, the shirred bottom, and the matching red lips are all the epitome of absolute glamour.

What a body, huh? Christina Hendricks worked her curves in a custom dress by Johanna Johnson, encrusted with Swarovski crystals and glass beads.
